‘Tribute’, my stop-frame animation timed to a Beatles song, is playing at the Annex Theatre this Friday as part of the June Spin the Bottle program. It’s never been seen in Seattle! Tribute is a cut-out animation made frame by frame – it is an abstract representation of music: each instrument in the song has [...]
The Eye Candy Animation Festival is an exciting one-night only event in Olympia, WA on Saturday, June 5th at 9PM.

A couple nights ago I saw this little gem at the Metro cinema in the U-District. It is playing definitely until Thu, June 3rd. So GO now before it leaves. Trust me, you want to see this one on the big screen. The Secret of Kells is an animated feature out of Ireland (from studio [...]
The SIFF Alternative Waves shorts program looks really interesting, and is screening tomorrow night (Wednesday May 26th) at 9:30PM at the SIFF cinema. It looks like there’s going to be some direct-on-film animation, some time lapse/cool camera moves, and some stuff I can’t figure out from the one line description. But it all looks interesting.

I’ve been fortunate to have two of my pieces on these 4 screens that face the sidewalk. It’s great exposure because people don’t have to enter the gallery, indeed, the gallery doesn’t [...]
Stumbled across this great interview with Belgian/Flemish filmmaker Anton Setola, about his new short film which is now touring the festivals called ‘Jazzed’: He talks about why he chose not to use a story with a set up and a pay off, but instead used colors, music, etc. to depict emotion. Though the stills look [...]
Animation is in the house this month! The Secret of Kells, amazing looking Oscar-nominated animated feature (animated old-school cels way) from Ireland, is out NOW at the Metro Cinema in the U-District. It runs until Thursday May 20th (it may run later but don’t count on it). Go to see this NOW before it leaves [...]
My studio mates and I took part in the Capitol Hill Artwalk tonight, opening up our spaces for people to look at the work, and discuss, as well as eat nibbles and drink wine! It was awesome and we hope to do this every month, so look out for announcements! They happen every second Thursdays. [...]
